Dubbed the "Naked Tux", this one was originally a Tuxedo that had yellowed and Larry Davis performed a wonderful refin by leaving it blonde. The Tux is featured in Paul Boyer's book on the history of Rickenbacker basses; pages 134-135 I believe. I was intending to convert it to fretless, but I'm finding that I prefer the chunkier profiles of the 2014-2017 necks. This one is too slender and shallow to me. I'm not really jazzed about selling it, so I may eventually pull it off the classifieds. There is some "buzzing" above the 12th fret with the action set low, a fret leveling at the end of the neck would fix that. Very comfy to play, balances very well and is @ 9#'s. Comes with an '80's Rick case (blue interior) in good shape and a pictorial disc of Mr Davis' restoration process.
$1800 shipped insured, conus only please. Please feel free to pm me for questions and detailed pics.
***UPDATE*** I eliminated the 90% of the buzzing by adjusting the rods. The adjustment nuts are either stiff or near the end of their travel.
